TORONTO — An unnamed New Jersey man will face a possible $400 fine from a car collision that killed a pedestrian and injured six other people, authorities said.

The 51-year-old man was charged Friday with careless driving from the Wednesday afternoon crash and is scheduled to appear in court in September, said Staff Sgt. Dave Stirling, of the traffic services bureau of the Toronto Police Service.

The New Jersey man was driving a Camry westbound on Lake Shore Boulevard West in the center of the city at 1:20 p.m., Stirling said today. The Camry was on the right side of a Toyota RAV 4 also heading westbound, police said.

As the two cars approached Bay Street, the New Jersey man’s Camry attempted to turn left across the RAV 4’s lane of travel – and the two cars collided, Stirling said.

The two cars continued out of control across the intersection, striking a lamppost – and three pedestrians, Stirling said.

A 73-year-old man who was one of the pedestrians hit died in the hospital two days later, police said. A 44-year-old woman suffered major but non-life threatening injuries, and a 9-year-old child is recovering from minor injuries, authorities added.

Four people in the two cars were treated for minor injuries.

The New Jersey driver’s identity is not being released because he was not charged criminally, and under the Canadian Highway Traffic Act, names for summonses are not released, Stirling said.

However, he said that the driver, if found guilty, would face a fine of $400 – plus a roadway tax.
